Raven-SymonΓ© is trending β and not in a good way. π A clip of Raven has gone viral and reignited serious backlash, and it even splashed onto Kalen Allen, who quickly clarified his role: "IT WAS NOT MY SHOW! I WAS NOT THE INTERVIEWER! I WAS THE GUEST!" So Kalen is making it clear he was just along for the ride β the heat is on Raven.
And once the internet got going, it went ALL the way down the rabbit hole β resurfacing some of the most talked-about things Raven has said over the years, from her time on The View to THAT infamous Oprah Winfrey interview. We break down the viral clip, Kalen's response, and the resurfaced moments people are pointing to β and separate what she actually said from what's being exaggerated online.
So tell me π Is the backlash fair, or is Raven getting a bad rap?
